Japan to ban the production and use of mercury lamps from 2021

The Minamata Convention on Mercury bans the production, import and export of mercury lamps using mercury from 2021. Some major domestic manufacturers have stopped producing mercury lamps and fluorescent lamps, and LED lighting has gradually become the mainstream of ordinary households.

In recent years, as LED lighting has reached a certain penetration rate, there has been a situation where LED lighting is not a subsidy related to energy conservation. It is difficult to say how long the introduction of LED will be included in the scope of subsidies. become.

Until there is no support available and you have to introduce expensive LED lighting at your own expense, I hope you take advantage of the subsidy/subsidy system to reduce the cost of introduction.
